I just scrolled past this thread again and it occurred to me to look something up and now I know that since submarine-type vessels were being tried out in England by the mid-18th century and the first military submarine was built in 1775 (right around the time the action in Wuthering Heights begins, chronologically) it’s entirely possible that Heathcliff could have been a test pilot for an old-timey submarine during that period where he disappears for a bit and nobody knows what the hell he is doing.
This is the best fact I have learned about Wuthering Heights from the internet today.
